Savita bhabhi and a bunch of loonies

Surprised by the kind of media attention Savita Bhabhi, "India's first porn comic", is getting both within India and outside. Porn is not a rarity anymore, it's everywhere! Apparently, the ban on it by the government seems to worked out well for the creators of the site.
To start with, the ban by the government was utter silly and a clear violation of a citizen's rights. This kind of moral policing is no different that what the Sri Ram Sena and Shiv Sena undertakes every now and then.
But, almost all the columns written against this ban have stressed on an another issue: liberation of Indian women, emancipation of women in India and so on.
Pritish Nandy writes "Savita Bhabhi is a symbol of freedom, of empowerment, of the sexuality our women can wield if they are allowed to escape the sham world we Indian men trap them in because of our own fears of sexual inadequacy masquerading as machismo"
I found couple of other news and articles which concur with this view. Well I have nothing to say than these views are just a pile of B.S. and shame on the goverment for banning it.
For heaven sake it's porn!

Update


Interview of the creator of Savtia Bhabhi on Global Post. He is just a dude like any one of us, at least that it looks like in the interview.

  1. great post !!
    Expression of Sexuality is definitely a human right which no one in the right mind has any right to say its not right. right ?

    I however do however like to comment that
    Porn was never a rarity. I remember when I did not have internet I had plethora of choices from cd, cassetes to magazines and Penthouse books to self made erotic sketches.
    And in absence all these materialistic vivifiers, we all had our vivid imagination , didn't we.

    Internet is destroying the imagination of our young ones. It has already destroyed mine. Been years sice I drew my own Savitha Bhabi
